To open the garage door, I simply flashed the high beams. The remote used a 9 volt battery, and obviously the high beams are using closer to 14.4 volts. Over a year later no damage had been done to the remote circuitry. I swear I had some additional range this way too.
That's a pretty cool idea. What if you have to leave the high beams on though?

I might just try that...
